Talk:West Indies

redirect convert to dab?

Is it worth changing this from a redirect, to a disambig page - one to Caribbean, one to British West Indies (as in the countries that make up the cricket team?) --Chuq 05:20, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes especially since for much of the cricketing world this term will refer to the cricket team, so arguably meaning carries the same weight with the term, will also correct the top of the carribean page 81.152.228.48 (talk) 10:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I concur with this assessment, surely both the arguments above and common sense suggest it should go to West Indies (disambig) given the page already exists, also West Indes and West indies both currently redirect to the disambig page and Carribean is the first option there Gamma2delta (talk) 21:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Redirect

I'd like to redirect this to the dab page, West Indies (disambiguation), which is more informative about the history. Any objections? SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 23:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and do that. We can move it back if there's an objection. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 23:11, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

It seems pretty clear that the primary topic for West Indies is the whole region, which is what this article covers. You reasoning has nothing to do with what is or isn't the primary topic. If there's no clear primary topic, than the DAB page should be at West Indies. It's probably best to propose moving the DAB page, rather than redirecting to it. - BilCat (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Frankly, I'd like to see Caribbean moved to West Indies. There doesn't apprea to have ever been a complete move discussion on Talk:Caribbean, a link to one elsewhere. I'm considering proposing it there. - BilCat (talk) 23:31, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
